Welcome to the Zoo
An interactive exhibition guide (field guide)
InfoVis course project
2013
Welcome to the Zoo is an interactive visualization and a digital field guide to animals’
hierarchical information for dual display environment. Regarding the investigation on social
behavior and several alternative contexts, my colleague and I discovered that watching animal information at the zoo is a very natural and appropriate way to use dual displays.

This visualization can make children to navigate a biological classification who are less likely to have opportunities to experience the nature and the animals nowadays. Children can be guided by exploring the information visualization from many kinds of animals to detailed information and pictures of them. The animal data are extracted from the open data website of Seoul city in South Korea (http://data.seoul.go.kr/).
This visualization is developed to draw a tree map of animal’s information through a pre-processing process of separating and storing the Seoul Grand Park information provided by the data site and made it possible to interact with the information by navigating freely using haptic controller. There are two projectors and two projection space (a wall and a small panel) to display the digital field guide content.
The wall area is to display a global view of the information, and the panel in front of the wall area provided a detail view of the information. When children choose the animal name, leading to the structural animal information from the name of animal cages of the zoo, detailed information will appear on the front panel display.
I used Processing for drawing an interactive visualization and creating the interaction, and design the detailed information with Photoshop.
Exhibition
Exhibited at KAIST L5 Building Lobby in December, 2013
